I don't know OpenDX. But I think the error message is referring to
OpenDX's server part and not your X11 server.

Make sure the server part is actually listening or running. Or make sure
it is configured to connect to correct host.

Have a look at the README and FAQs which mention that OpenDX may have
issues with memory limits. Maybe your OpenDX wants to use more memory than
you allow?

You may want to ask about it on the opendx-users list.
